Need faster Wifi extender - any ideas
Hi there
I've been temporarily sent "by She who must be obeyed" to my shed which I use as an office as she's sick of wires around the place (Lan cable) !!! -- will have to do some plastering etc to hide these later !!!
I've got a decentish wifi extender -- the 5Ghz band shows up reasonably --just slightly off green but not into the yellow colour but perfectly good enough without having to drop down into the 2.4 GHZ band. I'm about 20 Metres from the main router
I'd like faster wifi if possible --OKLA is showing this but seems a waste when from LAN I can get nearly 1Gb/s
Wifi speed :
I know on 5Ghz band I should be able to get theoretically around 800 - 900 Mb/s - it will depend also on the wifi adapters in the computer -- but I tested the extender with computer attached to it via a 10 Gb/s Ethernet port.
Model of extender I'm currently using is netgear Nighthawk EX7000.
I don't care paying more if the thing works faster.
Cheers
